A thought just struck me. If the exchange rate with the dollar stays like it is the top courses in the UK are gonna be rammed with yanks. And, I believe, it's bad enough as it is.
Some spark that's brighter than me (not tricky) may be able to work out if it's cheaper to buy stuff from the States, even with import costs.....

Translated, it will be cheap for US golfers to come across to the UK as the exchange rate greatly benefits them. What might have cost them £1000 last year may cost them £800 now (I haven't checked the vailidity of this, I'm just trying to make the point) That means more golfers playing the premium courses, it's why they come across, likely driving already inflated prices even higher.What’s the problem exactly?

Apologies if you knew this already and were making a different point.
I have a suspicion it may be more than US Golfers clogging up our golf coursesWhat’s the problem exactly?
If it's coming from China or America, it will be one of those, then it would have import duties anyway.Just think how expensive the new drivers will be in GBP. Inflation + high shipping costs from china + import tariffs now we are outside EU + weak pound.
TM Stealth 2 could be £999.99
Wrong way round but it is a vaild suggestion. When I wanted a rangefinder, the pound was very strong against the euro and the prices in the two markets had not been changed by Nikon to reflect the exchange rates.Some spark that's brighter than me (not tricky) may be able to work out if it's cheaper to buy stuff from the States, even with import costs.....
